Anyway, this wall was for the battle against puppychow16 in The Battlegrounds.
To the wall...Well, I'll have to say this wall caused a lot of probs technically. Photoshop kept on lagging and it got to the point where zooming out takes 3 min to load. Perhaps it's the fact I never flatten my layers... bleh. Used a hell lot of stocks, but I blended it to make that 'smooth' effect. I actually had this idea in mind a while ago, but never got to executing it until I made the challenge. The water was totally CGed from scratch with references from multiple water stocks. The text is horribile because I couldn't edit it...=.=a It was just stuck there after I took away my text layer O_O I'll have to say the hardest part was getting the lighting well blended. I hope you like the feel this wall gives out...it's relaxing. Btw, this wall may appear to be a bit too green for some of you - it differs between monitors. =/
Thanks to all those that gave me tips ;D

Well besides the bright green grass amongst your pale colored surroundings, the fact that you took the easy way out with the animal/bird in the wall thing (XD Actually I had used that scan before so I wasn't going to use it again...), and the weird gathering of branches on the right, this wall is great with all its moody atmosphere.
Congrats to you.
Please don't call me puppychow. *stabs username with a spork* Phoenix will do.

anyways, i love this wall, and it really feels like you captured some amazing moment, with the movement in the water and all.
granted some things are a little weird, but it's not to the point where i'd love the wall any more if they were fixed.
so, props to you, and now ima fav like it deserves.

Wait and Hope.
is the background a stock photo?? coz it doesn't look like a real image.. you blended the character really well with the background.. i like the sunlight rays(watever you call them. lol) like the water.. and the big rock with the text on it.. great job! add to favs!
anyway! d000d this seriously kicks ass :O you must have good people guiding you *coughs* xD
awesome work! you still need to learn how to make gentle waters xP
but HK's the man with this wall...and stock-using isnt a sin it's an art in itself :3
